Premature ejaculation is a rapid achievement of ejaculation, the climax of sexual arousal, premature climax or early ejaculation. Premature ejaculation is one of the most wide-spread forms of erectile dysfunction, which has been experienced by nearly every man at least once in his life. The main symptom of premature emission of seminal fluid is an almost uncontrollable ejaculation before the penis enters the vagina or soon after it.

Usually ejaculation is considered to be too rapid if it starts within 1-3 minutes after the penis enters the vagina, of course on condition that a partner did not manage to achieve orgasm. Premature ejaculation can happen even without the introduction of the penis. In rare cases it can be achieved with a complete absence of penile erection.

Premature ejaculation can also be triggered by psychological factors, such as stress, failures, depression (even short-term and not major). Besides, a man should pay attention to the medications he is currently taking, since very often premature ejaculation can be caused by administration of particular drugs, especially hormonal ones.Besides, such a sexual dysfunction can be the result of insufficient communication between the sexual partners.
